An automotive modification designed to increase the ground clearance of a specific vehicle model. It typically comprises components that elevate the body or suspension, resulting in greater distance between the vehicle’s chassis and the road surface. For example, a particular set of hardware elevates the body of a mid-size luxury sedan, providing increased clearance for off-road conditions or aesthetic purposes.
The implementation of such a modification can offer several advantages, including improved off-road capability by reducing the risk of undercarriage damage, enhanced visibility due to a higher driving position, and a more aggressive aesthetic appearance. Historically, these alterations were primarily associated with trucks and SUVs; however, the practice has expanded to include a wider range of vehicle types, driven by both functional requirements and stylistic preferences.
